Donald Trump Wins The Pulse 2016 July Straw Poll

Pie_chart_julyThe results of our July Straw Poll are in. We would like to thank everyone who participated! Our poll exceeded all expectations, as we received a staggering 15,032 responses throughout the month.

Donald Trump had a really good month. He has surged to the top of nearly all the national polls, and he was an overwhelming favorite among our readers at The Pulse 2016, receiving 7,462 votes, or 49.6 percent of the vote.

Ted Cruz won our May Straw Poll, and he still had a pretty good showing in July. Cruz placed second with 2,538 votes, or 16.9 percent of the vote.

Ben Carson and Scott Walker were the only other candidates to top 1,000 votes. Carson finished a solid 3rd with 1,729 votes (11.5 percent of the vote) and Scott Walker finished 4th with 1,164 votes (7.7 percent of the vote.)
